Important Notice for CAHC applicants

THE DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS FOR SUMMER AND FALL IS FEBRUARY 15. The dates on the graduate school application are not correct. If you are planning to apply for consideration during the spring Pre-Admission Workshop, you should plan to take the GRE in early January to assure that the results will be sent in ample time.  We changed the dates for the department to allow newly admitted students more time to meet with their academic advisor.

Please read the letter to potential students very carefully. There are three reference forms that come to the department and two that go to the Graduate School. You can have two people send forms to both.
